Back to buying optionsYellow Shrimp Plant Live Plant, Pachystachys lutea, 4 Inch Starter, Ships Without Pot, Tropical Yellow Flowering Shrub
Add bright tropical color to your plant collection with this live Yellow Shrimp Plant (Pachystachys lutea). Known for its distinctive golden-yellow flower bracts that resemble shrimp tails, this eye-catching tropical plant creates a colorful display in patios, balconies, containers, garden borders, and warm-climate landscapes.
You will receive a healthy live plant approximately 4–8 inches tall. The plant is grown in a 4-inch nursery pot before shipment but will be shipped without the pot. The root ball and soil will remain together and be securely wrapped for transit, so this is not a bare-root plant. Plant size, shape, fullness, and flowering stage may vary naturally depending on the season.

✔️ Height: approximately 4–8 inches
✔️ Grown in a 4-inch nursery pot
✔️ Ships WITHOUT the nursery pot
✔️ Root ball shipped securely wrapped with soil
✔️ Not shipped bare root

Keep the soil evenly moist while the plant establishes, but avoid prolonged waterlogging.
